Hi Adam,

Thanks for your input. I've now copied the latest version of the
"WebKitSupportLibrary.zip" within my WenKit workspace and will try to build
using that using the Debug configuration only. But FYI, the build also fails
when I try to build from the Cygwin Shell. So, is the Default Configuration
set to "Debug_All" even while I'm trying to build via Cygwin Shell? From
Cygwin Shell, how do I change the default build configuration? For new users
(which I am), this might be a little confusing and I think this should be a
part of the steps documented somewhere when building WebKit for the first
time from Cygwin Shell.

-Pritam.
